00:00I had to go to the checkout because I couldn't buy anything on the street.

00:03This is my little house.

00:05The roof was broken.

00:07Four of the roofs fell down.

00:10No, I don't have electricity.

00:12Look over there.

00:13The holes in the house.

00:18My name is Zeida Velazquez-Garcel.

00:20And your brother?

00:21My brother's name is Edel Velazquez-Garcel.

00:23How much social assistance do you have?

00:25About $1,500.

00:30Is that enough for you?

00:34It's tight. I can't buy anything on the street.

00:37Can you show me your brother's living conditions?

00:39Yes.

00:40What are those?

00:41His living conditions.

00:42Yes, his living conditions.

00:44Visually, his bed, and everything else.

00:46Ah, the bed.

00:50Look, that's the bed.

00:52That's where I keep the firewood so they don't steal it from me.

00:55And where is he?

00:56He's lying down there.

00:58Is he totally blind?

00:59Blind, blind.

01:00He was blind because half of his body died.

01:02He gave him something that looks like a heart.

01:06He takes heart pills and all that.

01:08Now he doesn't have pills.

01:10He doesn't have medicine?

01:11No, now he doesn't have medicine.

01:12He ran out of dopamine pills.

01:14Yes, he ran out of dopamine too.

01:16And the checkup you're talking about?

01:19It's not enough either.

01:20The checkup is tight because I can't buy anything on the street.

01:23We're living off the little money that comes to the store.

01:26This is my little house.

01:28The roof was broken.

01:30Four of the roofs were broken and they fell down.

01:33Is your brother blind?

01:34He's blind and disabled.

01:36He's half-disabled.

01:37And you help him, right?

01:38Yes.

01:39Excuse me.

01:40Step forward so he can show me, please.

01:42Step forward.

01:43Excuse me.

01:45Be careful.

01:46Don't trip over the broken roof.

01:49The roof is broken.

01:50You have to bend your head.

01:52Don't you have electricity here?

01:55No, I don't have electricity.

01:57Look over there.

01:58The holes in the house.

02:00The roof is broken.

02:04What do you want from the government?

02:07Well, if they help me build a house.

02:09If they help me.

02:11What kind of diseases do you have?

02:13Nerves.

02:14I'm schizophrenic.

02:16My nerves give me a fit.

02:19Do you have any medicine?

02:20I don't have any medicine now.
